In case you've missed it, Gaza is on fire thanks to Hamas. It is in your best interest to stay away from this area. Hamas should be considered armed and dangerous.
Israel is doing nothing. Why? Because it's not our job. Let it burn.

something funny from Time Magazine
Generally, when I read a publication like Time Magazine I don't expect to be laughing. Today, I sat at the Tel Aviv Central Train station waiting to return to Herzliya when I came across a very funny but sadly true essay written by Joel Stein. Here is the reprint:
Friends in High Places
For 2008, I'll vote for whicever candidate is nicest to me on Myspace
I'm sure picking a presidential candidate on the basis of what he's done or what he says is a great method-- if you're 70 and have nothing but free time. I'm making my choice the more efficient way: Myspace. Whichever candidate is the best at being my friend gets my vote. It worked for high school elections, and now it will work for the Leader of the Free World.
I went to the Myspace pages of all 18 candidates from the two major parties and asked them to be my friend. All accepted my friendship within hours (Republicans Mike Huckabee and Jim Gilmore even left comments on my site: "Thanks for the add!) All, that is, except Rudy Guiliani. Not only did Giuliani prevent me from seeing his site by setting his profile to private, as if he were a hot 16-year-old girl with strict parents, but-- unlike the other candidates, who accepted my invitation almost immediately-- Rudy has still not made me his friend after 25 days. I'm starting to see why the man blew two marriages.
